Go Listen to Goodman

I don’t know what it is about this particular track from Goodman, but I really encourage you to spend a little bit of time listening to the track. It opens with a seemingly folk leaning, guitars wrapping around one another while there’s a slight warble to the vocal delivery. I dug it, but it wasn’t until the joyous explosion around the 1.5 minute mark that the song really took its hold on me, which I have a feeling will come to you too, should you choose to venture that far. There’s something carefree in the way it all comes together at this moment, allowing you to let everything else around fall to the wayside. He’ll be releasing his latest effort, The Vicissitudes on February 3rd via Invertebrate.

More Music from Rodrigo Amarante

Rodrigo-AmaranteHopefully you recognize the name behind Little Joy, which was noted more for the appearances of Fab (Strokes fame), but which wouldn’t have sounded so perfect if not for Rodrigo Amarante.  Tracks from his album, Cavalo, have been floating around the Internet for a few weeks, and this one is my personal favorite.  It has that tropicalia feel, yet maintains a strangeness that allows me to hold onto the fact that I still think I’m cool (I’m not FYI). If you were a fan of the driftwood pop that his full band created, then you’ll surely love what he’s done on his own (with a little help from Devandra and Fab).
